There is no need to end your relationship with the British Geriatrics Society.

If you are interested, please contact Anne directly. Potential volunteering opportunities include:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Writing a column for the BGS Newsletter </strong>(twice a year); this might be about the activities of the Retired members group or any other issues of interest to retired members</li> <li><strong>Mentoring junior colleagues through the Association for Elderly Medicine Education</strong> (the AEME is closely associated with the BGS and runs the ‘Geriatrics for Juniors’ events as well as a mentoring-matching scheme)</li> <li>Monitoring, updating and <strong>editing the Retired Members Group page on the BGS website</strong></li> <li><strong>Volunteering at Marjory Warren House</strong> e.g. in the BGS library and archive</li> <li><strong>Contributing to the Society’s policy influencing work</strong> (attending meetings with the BGS Policy Manager, or attending meetings where a member of BGS staff is unavailable)</li> <li><strong>Assisting with social media blog</strong>s and updates</li> <li>Acting as a <strong>peer reviewer for <em>Age and Ageing</em></strong></li> <li>Participating in the <strong>Society’s committee structure</strong>.</li> </ul> <p style="text-align:justify">To discuss any of these opportunities, please contact Mark Stewart in the secretariat team, who can be reached at <span class="spamspan"><span class="u">committees</span> [at] <span class="d">bgs<span class="t"> [dot] </span>org<span class="t"> [dot] </span>uk</span></span> </p> <h6>Meetings</h6> <p>A retired members social group has existed for many years and run many successful annual events.</p> <p>Meetings have included visits to places of interest and informal presentations from both members and partners, most of which are of general interest and not health-related. Topics have often been related to post-retirement activities and those of historical interest are always appreciated. Past events have been held all over the country: from Windermere to Windsor, and Norwich to Newquay.</p> <p>We will also be aiming to organise further meetings in different parts of the UK if there are retired members willing to help with organisation.
